Arthur is the location of a crossover and the requisite set of signals just
west of Shawsville.
Train 112 climbs the hill in September 2004 with a colorful mix of power, including two ex-Conrail SD60Ms, a Montana Rail Link SD45, an NS GP15-1,
an NREX ex-ATSF SD45-2, and a Union Pacific C40-8W.
Office Car Special train 951 climbs the hills above Arthur in the early morning mist on 11 September 2003. Clean and shiny SD70Ms 2617 and 2593 in horsehead paint lead office cars Claytor Lake, West Virginia, Alabama and 'theater-observation' car Buena Vista.
This train is also pictured at Radford.
Grain train 51J, with a cut of empty coal hoppers on the head end, climbs the hill in april 2003.
Trains 277 and Q65 head west, followed by the unusual sight of a loaded
coal train coming east on the Christiansburg district, bypassing derailment
repairs on the Whitethorne District, in April 2003.
